Hiya folks,. .Finally she makes herself known I hear you all chuckle, well as the rest of the lads can vouch it's not because I'm shy. For some reason I've had great trouble logging on to the site, PPRuNe is very popular.. .. .Well Clear Prop!!! just to prove the theory wrong I am under thirty, 24 in April actually, so I'm the baby of the bunch.. .. .About my flying, I really do have the basics, I did all my training with SFT in Bournemouth (and contrary to what most people thought at the start of JAR) I thought the training there was superb. I did nothing but keep my head in the books throughout groundschool and most of the flying. So to anyone reading this thinking about starting a course - be prepared to give up everything until you finish it. I did my MCC last September and since I couldn't get a job doing what I loved, I ended up working for the NHS (sadly paying bills was essential).. .. .A friend of mine (Frank I am forever in your debt!) told me to check out PPRuNe because there was mention of a 737 type rating on it for people with low hours. So I did. Like the others I kept most of my answers short and sweet cos' I certainly wouldn't want to read a pile of essays no matter how good they were. The interview - I was just myself, ok a slightly nervous version of myself. I had no idea what I expected, but figured if I was honest and they didn't like me then I probably wouldn't feel comfortable in the company anyway. The Sim ride, well I decided if I wasn't going to get through then I was gonna make sure I really enjoyed myself so I had a great day to remember. So I went in relaxed and tried my best and tried to imagine no one else in there with me, which actually began to work as the EFIS (only seen them in books before) had me utterly fascinated. I went home and kept my fingers crossed. The whole process was really enjoyable but I don't think it would have been with a larger company, then again I might be wrong, that's just my personal opinion.. .. .Well that's my view on the whole situation, I'm still in shock and feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Any questions anyone wants to ask feel free and if I can answer them I will. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> . . . .Amanda. x
